If you like the jump jive stuff then that's nearing on jazz but its not jazz . There is a whole scene going on for jump jive rock and roll etc . Some of the new bands are amazing and drag up old tracks you would never know about .
Big sandy was a fave of mine when I played bass on the scene .

This is the sort of answer I like.... an actual explanation (of sorts) of jazz styles.... I like Joe Jackson stuff generally but loving that Jumpin Jive album at the moment I deffo check out those names

The stuff I've mentioned so far is not the same style as the |joe Jackson stuff... but this is kinda where it comes from...

But I've downloaded an old Joe Jackson Jazz album my brother had on vinyl called Jumpin Jive and I reckon its fab is anyone recording new music like that.... I don't want old stuff re-mastered but new material in a jazz style.... Any suggestions that I can try ....?

I love that album, it's on my iPod and has helped me up many a hill I'm not a big jazz fan but I do love a bit of Joe Jackson. Actually I love a lot of Joe Jackson.

Can't believe how many people are saying they like the Joe Jackson album, I thought it was an obscure album!!!!!!

An old BF took me to see him in concert when I was about 19 or 20. Brilliant.

Its hillbilly , rockabilly , rock and roll , swing jive . Searching jazz will send you on the wrong path mate .
Just to show they used to sing about any old crap then as they do now . This one always got me up on the dance floor to jive with the nearest lady

I think it is the words 'Modern Jazz' that has thrown people off because we are not talking Milt Jackson but Joe Jackson let alone Gerry Mulligan or Paul Desmond are we?
I think we might be talking Steely Dan or Talking Heads.
